1. Get your vote on

Americans skipped to the polls in 12 states in the biggest single day of voting until November. When the dust clears, Donald Trump and/or Hillary Clinton may look like nominees. Deep breaths.

2. Cruz faces home-state test

The state where Trump looks weakest is Texas, home to senator Ted Cruz. “Any candidate who cannot win his home state has real problems,” Cruz said. Hear that, Marco?

3. Rubio faces 11-state test

Florida senator Marco Rubio, favorite of the Republican party dons, has yet to win a state. Can he grab Minnesota or Virginia? Can he at least chalk up a bunch of strong seconds? One fantasy path for Rubio: Cruz loses Texas and drops out.

5. Clinton camp preps for Trump

For some in Clinton world, the writing’s on the wall, and it says: “Nuke Donald.” In the New York Times, ex-Obama apparatchik David Plouffe characterized the coming battle as “hope and change, not so much. More like hate and castrate.”

6. Ryan blows ref whistle on Trump

House speaker Paul Ryan spoke up on Trump’s faltering disavowal of KKK support. “If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican party … they must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry,” Ryan said.

Party of Nixon Lincoln.

Summary

I was very disappointed that [Trump] did not disavow what appears to be support from David Duke and from the Ku Klux Klan.

7. Head of Nascar endorses Trump

Trump: ‘I’m gonna be greedy for the United States.’

Summary

[Rubio] said I have small hands – I’m actually 6’3”, not 6’2” – but I’ve always heard people say: ‘Donald, you have the most beautiful hands.’
